Jonathan Bartlett: New York MTA Poster

Illustrator Jonathan Bartlett was recently commissioned by the MTA Arts For Transit program to create one of their yearly commemorative subway posters. “The wonderful part about this assignment was how open-ended the parameters were. Really, I was simply asked to pay homage to the mass transit system (‘in any way, big or small, that you want’) and to set the image in New York– otherwise, anything goes. When it came to such a task, my thought process was pretty direct; since I would rather draw trees than buildings, Central Park was the first and only choice on my list of locations,” said Jonathan.
